Omega Home Inspections understands that purchasing a home is one of the biggest investments that you will make. We provide objective home inspections with context to help you make informed buying decisions. Our home inspection reports are computer-generated and easy-to-read that will be made available to you within 24 - 48 hours of the inspection. The home inspection usually lasts about three hours, depending on the size of the home and systems to be inspected. You are not required to be present during the inspection but you are welcome to attend and follow along with the inspector. We are excited to work for you and ensure you are making a sound investment! (We are not structural engineers and do not do structural inspections, nor do we inspect mobile homes.)

"Stuart is professional, thorough, responsive and very knowledgeable. He patiently answered all of our questions throughout the inspection and we left feeling like we had a great understanding of the home we're buying. As for the inspection report itself, I intend to reference it for months and years to come as I prioritize improvements. Stuart was also able to turn the report around quickly to accommodate the timelines of our purchase. I would 100% recommend him to anyone in need of home inspection services."

"They same some people are just meant to do the job they're doing...That's Jameson at Another Level Inspection. He is with out a doubt the most thorough, acknowledgeable, friendly, professional in the business. We arrived at our future home and Jameson was already on the roof. Meanwhile our relator said she hadn't seen an inspector be so thorough in 20 years. Jameson took lots of photos, which he later sent us in a detailed report of things that needed attention, including but not limited to things that would need attention 10 years from now. I still refer to that email. My husband is not handy, to say the least. Jameson taught me things about our house that day that are still helpful now, and showed me the ins and outs and every kook and cranny of the property. He really made us feel good about the purchase we were about to make and what to expect. I very much enjoy following ALI social media pages to see his posts about particular finds and what he has going on. After spending our inspection with Jameson, even in this market we would NEVER skip a home inspection. We would recommend ALI to anyone, anytime, anywhere."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

A dryer vent inspection is simply the process of checking the vent for the possibility of damage or clogs. You can do it yourself or hire a pro. Pull the dryer away from the wall and inspect the portion of the vent that’s behind the appliance for lint buildup or kinks. Check the connection of the vent to the wall for loose parts or lint that’s escaping the vent. Check the exterior exhaust vent for signs of damage or lint blockage. A pro can check the length of the vent inside the wall for you. 

Home HVAC inspection costs vary widely from state to state. These different cost factors are due to geographic locations and cost of living. States with a lower cost of living are likely to have lower inspection costs compared with high-cost-of-living states. HVAC inspection costs can also vary within a state. If a technician has to travel a long distance to reach your home, you can expect to pay more for your inspection.

For most homeowners, a plumbing inspection costs $100 to $500. It depends on the location, the type of inspection, and the size of your home. A simple visual inspection will cost up to $200, while a camera inspection that checks your underground sewer lines can cost more than $1,000. Nonetheless, this may still be a better option than tearing up your underground plumbing to find the problem.

No, a standard home inspection includes the basics and does not offer lead paint testing. Professional lead paint inspectors need specific licenses to perform these inspections, which not all home inspectors have. If you suspect lead paint in the home you are about to purchase, you will need to pay separately to have that done. If the findings come back positive, you may be able to negotiate with the buyer to cover the cost of the removal.

Modular homes can go up or down in value depending on a few factors. In areas where real estate is appreciating, the value of modular homes is likely to increase, and vice versa. Additionally, the value of modular homes depends partially on the area. In cities where every other home is stick-built, modular homes might be considered a functional obsolescence, in which case they could be less desirable and go down in value. In either case, though, modular homes can still be a good investment, especially since they provide housing at a lower upfront cost.
